net: fix phy refcounting in a bunch of drivers

2015-09-25T06:04:53Z

of_phy_find_device() increments the phy struct device refcount, which we need to properly balance. Add code to network drivers using this function to ensure that the struct device refcount is correctly balanced. For xgene, looking back in the history, we should be able to use of_phy_connect() with a zero flags argument for the DT case as this is how the driver used to operate prior to de7b5b3d790a ("net: eth: xgene: change APM X-Gene SoC platform ethernet to support ACPI"). This leaves the Cavium Thunder BGX unfixed; fixing this driver is a complicated task, one which the maintainers need to be involved with. Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: axienet: Fix devm_ioremap_resource return value check

2015-07-10T04:43:16Z

Value returned by devm_ioremap_resource() was checked for non-NULL but devm_ioremap_resource() returns IOMEM_ERR_PTR, not NULL. In case of error this could lead to dereference of ERR_PTR.

drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35Z

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is no value in anyone else taking over updating it either. However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread. No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2015-05-13T18:31:43Z

Four minor merge conflicts: 1) qca_spi.c renamed the local variable used for the SPI device from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call got moved further up in the probe function. 2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params structure, and thus we had overlapping changes to the initializer function. 3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is completely removed in 'net-next'. 4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations had the command value fixed, meanwhile 'net-next' adjusted the argument signature a bit. This also matches example merge resolutions posted by Stephen Rothwell over the past two days. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
